Do you offer free consultations?

We offer free 15-minute discovery calls for businesses exploring one of our fixed-price services: the I-9 Compliance Assessment, ImmigrationSuite membership, or the HR I-9 Compliance Cohort. A discovery call is a conversation about your operations and which service fits — it is not a legal consultation, and no legal advice is provided. If you need legal advice on a specific situation, the $250 consultation is the right starting point.

What happens during the 30-minute consultation?

You'll meet one-on-one with attorney Emily C. Brown via Zoom. Before the call, our intake form gathers the key facts so the full 30 minutes goes toward analysis, not background. During the consultation you'll get an assessment of your specific situation, the risks and options as the attorney sees them, and clear recommended next steps — whether or not those steps involve hiring the firm. Consultations are available in most languages with a complimentary translator.

Why is there a consultation fee?

The consultation is legal work, not a sales call. You're paying for an attorney's analysis of your specific facts — the same analysis that shapes an audit response or litigation strategy — and you leave with actionable guidance regardless of whether you engage the firm afterward. A paid consultation also means the time is fully yours: no pitch, no pressure, just answers.

How much does a consultation cost?

Legal consultations at Elevate Justice are a flat $250 for 30 minutes, conducted virtually via Zoom with the attorney who will handle your matter. Consultations cover I-9 and E-Verify compliance questions, worksite enforcement matters including Notices of Inspection, ICE site visits, and subpoenas, and federal litigation strategy including habeas corpus and APA/mandamus actions.

What happens after I book a consultation?

Our intake form gathers the key facts about your matter and routes you to the correct booking calendar — a $250 legal consultation or, for our fixed-price services, a free 15-minute discovery call. You'll receive a confirmation with your Zoom link. Because intake happens before the call, your time with the attorney goes toward analysis and next steps. If you choose to engage the firm, you'll receive an engagement agreement defining scope and fee in writing.

Can Elevate Justice represent me if I'm not in Florida?

Yes. Immigration law is federal, which means a licensed immigration attorney can represent clients in any U.S. state before USCIS, ICE, the Department of Labor, and other federal agencies. Elevate Justice serves employers and individuals in all 50 states from a fully virtual platform. Where you're located doesn't limit the representation.

Do you represent international clients or multinational companies?

Yes. We work with employers abroad, foreign founders and investors, and companies with international workforces on U.S. immigration matters. Because the practice is fully virtual, working across time zones is routine.

What is your background in immigration enforcement?

Before founding Elevate Justice, attorney Emily C. Brown served as an attorney at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor, and at the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of the Solicitor on immigration programs. Your defense strategy is built by someone who has worked inside the agencies that enforce these laws and knows how they evaluate cases, build files, and make decisions.

Can you handle my federal court case if it's outside Florida or DC?

Often, yes. Attorney Emily C. Brown is admitted in Florida and the District of Columbia. For federal district court litigation in other jurisdictions, we appear through pro hac vice admission or in co-counsel arrangements with local counsel — a standard practice in federal litigation. During your consultation we'll confirm the right structure for your specific court.

How does a fully virtual law firm work?

Every meeting happens over Zoom, documents move through secure channels, and signatures are handled electronically. Consultations are available in most languages with a complimentary translator. The virtual model also means lower overhead, which is part of how we keep flat-fee pricing predictable.
